An SPV (Simplified Payment Verification) node is a lightweight Bitcoin client. It doesn't download the whole blockchain, just the headers to verify transactions.

Basically, it's a quicker way to get in the game without needing tons of data and storage. Handy for regular users on-the-go! 🏃‍♂️💨📱

So it is a node?
